Blessed is the man who does not
walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers. But his delight is in the law
of the Lord. On his law he meditates day and
night. He will be like a tree planted
by streams of water, which brings forth its fruit in its season,
whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper. The wicked are not so, but are
like the chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked
shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation
of the righteous. For the Lord knows the way of
the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish. Psalm
5 Give ear to my words, O Lord. Consider my sighing. Listen to
the voice of my cry, my King and my God. For to you do I pray. O Lord, in the morning you shall
hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my
requests before you and will watch expectantly. Psalm 6 O LORD, don't rebuke
me in your anger, neither discipline me in your wrath. Have mercy

deliver my soul, and save me because of your unfailing love. Psalm 16 Preserve me, God, for
in you do I take refuge. The Lord has assigned my portion
and my cup. You made my lot secure. The lines have fallen to me in
pleasant places. Yes, I have a delightful inheritance. I will bless the Lord who has
given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in
the night seasons. I have set the Lord always before
me. Because he is at my right hand,
I shall not be moved. You will show me the path of
life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand, there
are pleasures forevermore. Psalm 18 I love you, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock, my fortress,
and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower. Psalm 19 The law of the Lord is perfect,
restoring the soul. The testimony of the Lord is
sure, making wise the simple. The precepts of the Lord are
right, rejoicing the heart. The commandments of the Lord
are radiant, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the Lord is
pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the Lord are
true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than
gold, yes, than much fine gold, Sweeter also than honey and the
honeycomb. Moreover by them is your servant
warned, In keeping them there is great reward. Who can discern
his errors? Forgive my hidden faults. Keep me back from presumptuous
sins. Let them not have dominion over
me. Let the words of my mouth and
the meditations of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord,
my Rock and my Redeemer. Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd. I have
everything I need. He makes me lie down in green
pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of
righteousness for His name's sake. Even though I walk through
the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you
are with me. Your rod and your staff, they
comfort me. You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil.
My cup runs over. Surely, goodness and mercy shall
follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the
house of the Lord forever. Psalm 27 The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is
the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid? One thing
I have asked of the Lord, that I will seek after, that I may
dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze
upon the beauty of the Lord, and to seek Him in His temple. For in the day of trouble, He
will keep me secretly in His pavilion. In the covert of His
tabernacle, He will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock. When you said, Seek my face,
my heart said to you, I will seek your face, O Lord. You have
been my help. Don't abandon me, neither forsake
me, O God of my salvation. Wait for the Lord. Be strong,
and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the Lord. Psalm 28 To you, O Lord, I call. My Rock, don't be deaf to me. Blessed be the Lord, because
He has heard the voice of my petitions. The Lord is my strength
and my shield. My heart has trusted in Him,
and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him. Save your people and bless your
inheritance. Be their shepherd also and bear
them up forever. Psalm 30 O LORD my God, I have cried to
you for help, and you have healed me. Sing praise to the Lord,
O saints of His. Give thanks to His holy name,
for His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night,
but joy comes in the morning. You have turned my mourning into
dancing. You have removed my sackcloth
and clothed me with gladness. O Lord my God, I will give thanks
to you forever. Psalm 32 Blessed is he whose transgressions
are forgiven, whose sins are covered. I acknowledged my sin
to you. I didn't hide my iniquity. I confessed my transgressions
to the Lord, and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice,
you righteous ones, Shout for joy all you who are upright in
heart. Psalm 34 I will bless the Lord at all
times. His praise will always be in
my mouth. My soul shall boast in the Lord. The humble shall hear of it and
be glad. Oh magnify the Lord with me,

me and delivered me from all my fears. This poor man cried
and the Lord heard him and saved him out of all his troubles. Oh taste and see that the Lord
is good. Blessed is the man who takes
refuge in Him. Oh, fear the Lord, all His saints! For there is no lack with those
who fear Him. The young lions lack and suffer
hunger. But those who seek the Lord shall
not lack any good thing. The Lord's eyes are toward the
righteous. His ears listen to their cry. the righteous cry,
and the Lord hears and delivers them out of all of their troubles. The Lord is near to those who
have a broken heart and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the
righteous, but the Lord delivers Him out of them all. The Lord
redeems the soul of His servants. None of those who take refuge
in Him shall be condemned. Psalm 36 Your unfailing love, O Lord,
is as vast as the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches beyond
the clouds. Your righteousness is like the
mighty mountains. Your judgments are like a great
deep. O Lord, You preserve man and
animal. How precious is Your unfailing
love, O God! Men take refuge under the shadow
of Your wings. They shall be abundantly satisfied
with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the
river of your pleasures. For with you is the spring of
life. In your light shall we see light. Psalm 37. Delight yourself in the Lord.
and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way
to the Lord. Trust also in him, and he will
do this. Rest in the Lord and wait patiently
for him. Better is the little which the
righteous has than the abundance of many wicked. For the arms
of the wicked shall be broken, But the Lord upholds the righteous. Their inheritance shall be forever. A man's goings are established
by the Lord. He delights in his way. Though
he stumbles, he shall not fall. For the Lord holds him up with
his hand. The salvation of the righteous
is from the Lord. He is their stronghold in the
time of trouble. The Lord helps them and rescues
them. He rescues them from the wicked
and saves them because they have taken refuge in Him. Psalm 38 O Lord, don't rebuke me in your
wrath, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure. For your
arrows have pierced me, your hand presses hard on me. For my iniquities have gone over
my head, as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me. My wounds
are loathsome and corrupt because of my foolishness. I am pained
and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long. O Lord, all my desire is before
You. My groaning is not hidden from
You. For in You, O Lord, do I hope. You will answer me, O Lord my
God. Don't forsake me, O Lord. My
God, don't be far from me. Hurry to help me, O Lord, of
my salvation. Psalm 39 Show me, O Lord, how brief my
time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered
and that my life is fleeing away. My life is no longer than a mere
hand-breath. An entire lifetime is just a
moment to you. Each man's life is but a breath. We are merely moving shadows,
and all our busy rushing ends in nothing. But now, Lord, what
do I wait for? My hope is in You. I was mute. I didn't open my
mouth, because You are the One who has done this. Hear my prayer,
O Lord, and give ear to my cry. Don't be silent at my tears. Psalm 40 I waited patiently for
the Lord. He turned to me and heard my
cry. He brought me up also out of
a horrible pit, out of the miry clay. He set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand. Don't withhold your tender mercies
from me, O Lord. Let your unfailing love and your
truth continually preserve me. For innumerable evils have surrounded
me. My iniquities have overtaken
me, so that I am not able to look up. They are more than the
hairs of my head. My heart has failed me. Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver
me. Hurry to help me, O Lord. I am
poor and needy. May the Lord think about me. You are my help and my deliverer. Don't delay, O my God. Psalm 42 As the deer pants for the water
brooks, so my soul pants after you, O God. My soul thirsts for
God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear
before God? Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? I will put my hope in God. I will praise him again, my Savior
and my God. Psalm 46 God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in time of trouble. Therefore we won't be
afraid, even if earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into
the sea. Let the oceans roar and foam. Let the mountains tremble as
the waters surge. The Lord Almighty is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord Almighty is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Psalm 51 Have mercy on me, O God, according

against you and you only. have I sinned, and done that
which is evil in your sight. Behold, I was brought forth in
iniquity. In sin my mother conceived me. Behold, you desire truth in the
inward parts. You teach me wisdom in the inmost
place. Purify me with hyssop, and I
will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter
than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness,
that the bones which you have broken may rejoice. Hide your face from my sins,
and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O
God. Renew a right spirit within me. Do not cast me from Your presence

Your salvation. The sacrifices of God are a broken
spirit A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. Psalm 55 Listen to my prayer,
O God. Do not hide yourself from my
supplication. Attend to me and answer me. I am restless in my complaint
and moan. My heart is severely pained within
me. The terrors of death have fallen
on me. Fearfulness and trembling have
come on me. Horror has overwhelmed me. I said, O that I had wings like
a dove! Then I would fly away and be
at rest. Behold, then I would wander far
off. I would lodge in the wilderness. As for me, I will call on God. The Lord will save me. Evening, morning, and at noon,
I will cry out in distress. He will hear my voice. God, who
is enthroned forever, will hear. Psalm 56 When I am afraid, I will put
my trust in You, in God, whose word I praise. In God, I put

before God in the light of life. Psalm 57 Be merciful to me, O God, be

unfailing love and his truth. Be exalted, O God, above the
heavens. Let your glory be above all the
earth. My heart is steadfast, O God. My heart is steadfast. I will
sing, yes, I will sing praises. Wake up, my glory. Wake up, psaltery

above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the
earth. Psalm 59 I will sing of your strength. Yes, I will sing aloud of your

sing praises. For you, O God, are my fortress,

people. Pour out your heart before Him. God is a refuge for us. Psalm 63 Oh God, You are my God. I will earnestly seek You. My
soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you in a dry

than life, my lips shall praise you. I will bless you while I
live. My mouth shall praise you with
joyful lips when I remember you on my bed, and I think about
you in the night watches. For you have been my help. I

to you. Your right hand holds me up. Psalm 66. Shout with joy to the Lord all
the earth. Sing to the glory of his name. Make his praise glorious. Say

it was too painful for me. until I entered God's sanctuary
and considered their latter end. Surely, you set them in slippery
places. You throw them down to destruction. How they are suddenly destroyed.

with you. You have held my right hand. You will guide me with your counsel,
and afterward receive me to glory. Whom do I have in heaven but
you? There is no one on earth whom
I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart fails,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. For behold, those who are far

and for Him to listen to me. In the day of my trouble I sought

forever? Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has He, in anger, withheld His
compassion? Your ways, O God, are holy. What God is so great as our God? I will meditate on all your works
and consider your doings. You are the God who does wonders. You have redeemed your people
with your mighty arm. Psalm 80 Hear us, Shepherd of Israel Stir

through the valley of weeping, they make it a place of springs. They go from strength to strength. O Lord Almighty, hear my prayer. Listen, O God of Jacob. For a day in your courts is better
than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper

a shield. The Lord will give grace and
glory. He withholds no good thing from
those who walk blamelessly. O Lord Almighty, blessed is the
man who trusts in You. Psalm 85 O Lord, You have forgiven the iniquity
of Your people. You have covered all their sin

are great and do wondrous things. You are God alone. Teach me your way, O Lord. I
will walk in your truth. Give me an undivided heart to
fear your name. I will praise you, O Lord my
God, with my whole heart. I will glorify your name forevermore,
